eagles 

but now Barkley needs to rush for 170 in the SB  

go Chiefs 

Commandos are discombobulated 

too many away games?

pizza bets, just for grins

Eagles -9’ +143 

Barkley total 611+ rush yds in the postseason (to set a new record) +500

he currently has 324 yds

T Kelce to score 2 TDs in the SB +2000

GLTA today 

maybe Josh Allen could have neutralized the Swift effect by dating Britney Spears 

@Macwestie1 

@sherriffics 

 
the only plays I have at the moment are

parlay QB rush yds @+100

Daniels 40+ yds

Hurts 25+ yds

also 

Jalen Carter Over 0.25 sacks +103

with Cosmi out the WAS O line might be vulnerable

also have a chiefs SB future +450

I saw the MVP finalists

S Barkley

L Jackson

J Goff 

J Allen 

J Burrow

I was happy to see Mahomes left off of the list so maybe he will have a little xtra motivation lol

Conclusion….its a small sample size, but the numbers show that teams passing is down, with more emphasis on rushing, and QB rushing in particular

Not the tightest vid but you have a good point

suggest you do a search for…….

taylor swift nfl brand value

the numbers back you up 

According to an article at SI.com

”…..Clete Blakeman, the ref assigned to the game, led the NFL in calling unnecessary roughness penalties in 2024……”

According to NFLPENALTIES.com the Bills were +198 net penalty yards for the season.    The Chiefs were +73.

biggest winner was the Vikes +415, biggest loser was Ravens -367

haha I remember when Young first came into the league he seemed to run for a crazy amount of yardage, but now Lamar runs for 2x that amount

if any team blows up my theory about running QBs this year it’ll probably be the ravens who will win the SB 

this is a great point.    Mahomes does run more in the postseason, but not a crazy amount, maybe 2 more attempts and 15 yards per game.   If he also ran more in the regular season he’d be much more likely to get injured

good observation. 

exactly. 

that’s why I cashed chiefs futures last season and have them winning the SB again this year

you may very well be right.    

Although I would point out that the two #1 seeds have QBs that have rushed for less than 25 yds/gm, not the great QBs who who’ve rushed for 40 or 50 yards per game this season

This is interesting.    I sometimes wonder about the intelligence or processing speed of different QBs.    In Daniels case, I cut him some slack, as I do all rookies.    Even Mahomes said that it took him a season and a half to figure things out.    In other cases, intelligence may or may not be the issue, it could be processing speed, which is something else altogether.

sometimes the problem is the teacher, not the student.   Look at Darnold, he had a good season even though he was mostly mediocre with other teams until this year.     But he still seems a tick slow at processing info, IMO

totally agree

the only games I like are chiefs and eagles.    I think back to the old saying

if my 11 guys can push your 11 guys around, I win

I think the chiefs O line will have more success against the Texans D than Texans O line will have vs chiefs D.   Same thing with eagles and rams, eagles O line is that much better, I believe

that’s the ticket 

Young is on the list, he won in 1994

no SB winners on that list.   Not yet, anyway

@Buffalobob89074

 The term “running QB” is subjective.    In this exercise my definition is Over 25 yards and Over 5 attempts per game.  

@undermysac 

 
glad you found it interesting 

the question in my mind, is a QB who runs a lot similar to a basketball point guard who shoots too much?   I think both can be detrimental to their teams success

of course there are exceptions like MJ with the Bulls for example

Nice writeups, thanks 

ravens probably also have a slight coaching edge too

it should be a good close game
